JUCO DB Champ Anthony commits to Auburn

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze gets another transfer portal victory. Defensive back Chancellor ‘Champ’ Anthony announced on Sunday via Twitter that he intends to leave his junior college in Texas to play football at Auburn for the 2023 season under Freeze.

Anthony posted 14 tackles, broke up two passes, and had an interception last season as a freshman at Tyler Junior College. He showed versatility by playing several positions in the secondary.

The 6′1 176-pound defensive back will likely see time at nickel back. His height and strength allow him to cover tight ends. His speed can cover wide receivers on deep routes.

Anthony had offers from BYU, North Dakota State, Old Dominion, and several others during his recruiting process when the spring window opened.
